Okay, I watched a full damn documentary about this *chuckles* so I'll just say it.
Terri Schaivo was put into a vegetative state when her heart stopped beating 10 beats. The part of her brain that was damaged was the part that censors her feeling of pain. So, if she were put to death, she wouldn't feel pain at all. Even though she smiles, blinks, mumbles, etc etc it all means nothing. She is in a very, very unconscious state but there was a part of her brain that wasn't damaged and it helps her blink her eyes and smile. She doesn't have feelings, she doesn't have thoughts, all she has is a beating heart. I now change my mind about my position *another John Kerry lol*. As the Vatican says, you shouldn't mess with death. If she was supposed to die, she is supposed to die. If she can't survive by her own, she simply wasn't meant to survive, feeding tubes and all. She'll probably be in a better place in heaven. But who knows? Maybe she does know what people are saying. Eh? |

yea im starting to change my mind also... if i was in a veg state i wouldnt want to be kept alive either. no one really knows how terri schiavo is feeling, since obviously she cant talk, and she cant function. who knows, maybe she CAN feel pain, or maybe she wants to die, but no one will ever know since she cant express her feelings. now im thinking that they should just let the woman go. i sure wouldnt want to be in a veg state, but i wouldnt want to starve to death, or die a slow death. i think they should just put her down right there, and not make it so complicated.
